Notification of Rights Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Walsh University is covered by, and subscribes to, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) – informally known as the Buckley Amendment. Passed by the U.S. Congress, Public Law 93-380, as amended and effective November 19, 1974.

This law permits students the right of confidentiality and the right to inspect and review their educational record as maintained by the appropriate offices and agencies of the University. Also, it affords students the right to request that amendments be made to ensure that their records are accurate.

Copies of the Act and the Federal Regulations are available for examination in the University Library, the Office of the Registrar, or by accessing the Department of Education’s FERPA web site at www.ed.gov/offices/OM/fpco.html.

FERPA information is published yearly online @ www.walsh.edu, in the University catalog and in the student handbook.
